You got more than enough

“Factoring in popularity and rarity of the characters, fees to transfer ownership, license fees all of which can be waived or discounted due to being an internal purchase, registration fees, the standard GPS and inhibitor chip reprogramming, and the employee discount.” Larry lists off as he continues his calculations, while you occasionally give input on a few minor mods you want.

You wait as he continues to factor in the cost to remove some of the minor ones they already have. The girls better be happy they will be able to digest non oat based foods again; mandatory pony diet mod was one of the few ponygirl mods they had and it's getting removed along with the "sleep standing up" mod.

“Thanks man.” You get out. ”I don’t know what to say.”
